Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and located in southwestern Europe is Portugal. The country boasts incredible value for money in amongst it's amazing history and culture.
Praia da Vitoria is one of only two municipalities on the island, and the civic hub of the town centre is a short drive south of the airport. Praia da Vitoria is home to many of the island's major attractions, including the cave complex known as Algar do Carvao. Hiring a car from Lajes Airport also gives you comfortable and swift access to Angra do Heroismo, the island's other municipality and home to the imposing mountain known as Monte Brasil.
Visitors to Terceira, who are landing at Lajes will often place attractions like the Praia dos Biscoitos at the top of their itinerary; the volcanic hot springs here are legendary, set amongst the drama of the Atlantic Ocean and framed by jet black lava formations. Those hiring a car from the airport can head towards the heart of the island and discover why the cave formations known as Algar do Carvao attract so much attention - the Gruta Natal Lava Tube is close by and equally as appealing.
Head south to Monte Brasil and enjoy the wonderful panoramas of Angra, along with unparalleled views of the entire southern aspect of Terceira. If you decide to rent a car from Lajes Airport, visit Angra and check out the flagship avenue known as Rua da Se, for its striking architecture and fabulous plant life.
